What gear would you buy after winning tonight's Powerball?

I've, quite literally, had everything, at one time or another. A lottery win wouldn't tempt me...except, perhaps, to buy more Tesla stocks.... :-)

Maybe a purple Floyd Hellraiser...

I've already done that. Maybe now I would have time to concentrate and practice!

I'm resolved to stop messing with guitars and finish my recordings. I came here with 2 guitars - a 29 year old Squire and a 12 year old Schecter - Now I have 6 guitars - far too many distractions and not enough dedicated playing....
 
I'd buy one of everything.
Guitars and amps.
I'd also buy a tour bus sized motorhome so my favorite gear would always be close by, hire a professional driver for the bus,
and a stinking red Ferrari for a play toy.

I have simple tastes.

Hmm good idea. I might buy a Teuffel Tesla

A '54 Les Paul Standard and a '62 Les Paul/SG Standard, and a couple of the Marshall cabs I need to make the aesthetics consistent with my amps.

I just hope that I win enough to actually stop travelling so much for work, and get to start playing more often.

Yes...
 
First... a different house, located with much better views than we have now. It would have to be bigger to have a Mancave room that will accomodate more massive sized gear comfortably. Also, that room would have be very professionally setup for extreme soundproofing and acoustics. But rather than load up and keep more guitars and amps, I would ramp up my enthusiasm for building amps from kits. And then, just give them away to whomever would want one.
 
1- Early 60s Gibson ES 355 TDC-SV.
2- Small cabinet blackface Fender Dual Showman.
3- HIWATT DR 103 head.
4- 2 EV SRO-12 loaded Fender 2 X 12 Cabinets.
5- Open ended contract with a moving company to haul it around for me.
6- Open ended contract with a helicopter company to haul me around.
7- Other stuff.
 
After taking care of the people close to me...

I would get, a complete timeline of the SG and LP standards. They would all be displayed in the music/billiards room, with a variety of Marshall amps.

For serious jamming, you could step off into the connecting studio.
 
An entire new house with a full blown recording studio and small concert style venue. Then I'd start booking acts for private performances.

...and I'd hire Joe Walsh as my personal instructor.
 
A warehouse converted to a music recording/studio/practice place filled with Gibsons, Fenders (usa), and Carvin guitars and bass's. Not to mention way too many vintage tube amps. Then I'd start look'n to find a few good roach coaches to come and feed all the musicians at specified times thru out the day and night ;)
 
I would buy a house with a large studio to house my pro recording equipment, vintage amps and my vintage guitar collection. I would also have a shop to work on gear. I would also take professional guitar lessons. I would also have a cook, cleaning lady and a driver.
 
I had already bought a quick pick for the Powerball, but I just bought 5 more, some with my own numbers of choosing. After I win, buy my new house and fill the garage with cars I've always wanted... I would take turns driving them to the store to buy all the guitars I've always wanted and some I never wanted just to complete the collection. I would build a state of the art recording studio and invite famous people to come record in it for free! Yes, Joe Walsh would be there too!
